Mom Turns 88

We had a houseful today at Mom's birthday lunch. Everyone made it over, so there were ten of us plus little boy. I asked Mom what her favorite foods to eat were, and she said sweets! She couldn't come up with much more other than potato chips, so knowing that she likes hot dogs, I decided to serve corn dogs. Plus cinnamon applesauce jello, cole slaw, Caesar salad, calico beans in the crockpot, potato chips, and cherry fudge chunk ice cream pie. Katie made pumpkin cookies, and Diana brought frosted Halloween cookies. Little boy, who loves a good party, ran up and down the kitchen saying, "oh, my goodness", his new favorite phrase. Mom got plenty of sweets to bring home ... cookies from Nick, popcorn from Jake and Brianna, and chocolates from Mark. Diana gave Mom some soft socks, and we gave her a stuffed puppy that looks very much like Maxie Poo. He can lay on her bed with Ranger! I sat up close to Mom on the couch (we stayed warm that way), and read over all her Facebook Birthday greetings. It was a very nice afternoon.
